Kyrgyzstan builds 42 new healthcare facilities as sector funding doubles

Kyrgyzstan is significantly expanding its healthcare infrastructure, with 21 facilities already operational and 42 new ones in various stages of construction. This development underscores a commitment to improving public health services across the nation.

Minister of Health Damirbek Osmonov reported that the consolidated healthcare budget has nearly doubled, reaching 51.9 billion soms. This increased funding has enabled the strengthening of the sector's material and technical base, supporting the construction of modern facilities like the perinatal centers in Osh and Talas, alongside the renovation of hospitals and polyclinics nationwide.

The country is also advancing high-tech medicine, including organ transplantation, while actively working to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates. The modernization extends to the implementation of digital health systems and the continuous updating of medical equipment and sanitary transport, signaling a comprehensive approach to healthcare reform.
